Ratio of girls to boys is 3:2....added = 5.....this means that 3/5 of the total students are girls and 2/5 of the total students are boys.
so if there are 50 students...
3/5(50) = 150/5 = 30 girls
2/5(50) = 100/5 = 20 boys
4x+y= x
Move all x term to left side
4x-x+y=0
Subtract 4x from 3x
3x+y=0
Move y term to right side
3x= -y
Divide both sides by 3
X= -y/3
Ok so if it's
4x+y= z solve for x
Move y to right side
4x= -y +z
Now divide both by 4 to get x alone
X= -y/4 + z/4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: lets say, rajiv has x marbles.
given: aman has 40 marbles
and aman's marbles are 25 more than half of rajiv's marbles.
so, aman has 25 + x/2 marbles
40 = 25 + x/2
40 - 25 = x/2
15 = x/2
15*2 = x
30 = x
thus, rajiv has 30 marbles.
P = how many cars Peter has
j = how many cars Jade has
a = how many cars Andre has
p x 4 = how many cars Andre has (36 model cars)
>>>TO FIND HOW MANY MODEL CARS PETER HAS:
p x 4 = 36
36 / 4 = 9
your equation to find how many model cars Peter has is:
36 / 4 = 9
So, Peter has 9 model cars.
>>>TO FIND HOW MANY MODEL CARS JADE HAS:
36 / 4 = how many cars Peter has (9)
Now, you are given the info that Jade has THREE TIMES (3x) as many cars as Peter already.
So, your equation for this one is:
9 x 3 = 27
So Jade has 27 model cars.
---- Jade has 27 model cars.
---- Andre has 36 model cars.
---- Peter has 9 model cars.
equation for a. 36 / 4 = p
equation for b. 9 x 3 = j
Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time
thus
notice, the first car leaves at "x" time, the other leaves on hour later, or x + 1
the first car travels some distance "d", whatever that is, thus
the second car, picks up the slack, or the difference, they're 380 miles
apart, thus the difference is 380-d
